My preference is Elring's Curil(tm) Products, the original stuff VW used to assemble in the 1st place. I've used the product(s) to assemble aircooled engines (Type 1 and Type 4 in the past with excellent results thanks to the guidance of an experienced VW Factory mechanic a few decades ago. Whether they are applicable to the Wasserboxer, I can't say because I've never assembled one. But I can find out.

There are 3 different compounds for specific uses. I'm not in position at the moment to elaborate, but tomorrow when I'm in the office, I will update when I have the reference materials at hand. -- Jim Thompson 84 GL 1.9 "Gloria" 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" 75 914 1.8 "Nancy" Full Timing Since March 1999 oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com *********************************** On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 8:29 PM, Tom Lambas <twlambas@gmail.com> wrote: > Well now that I'm waiting for some new connecting rod nuts, maybe > someone can help me decide between Permatex Aviation form-a-gasket (3H), or > Permatex Super "300" form-a-gasket (83H) to seal the case halves.  I have > them > both on hand. > > So, between the two, does anybody have a preference? > > Tom L
